Various Artists

Victrola Favorites: Artifacts from Bygone Days

Label: Dust-to-Digital
Country: USA

"Recordings made between the 1920s-'50s compiled by Rob Millis and Jeffrey Taylor of the Seattle-based experimental band Climax Golden Twins from their collections of rare 78rpm records and design ephemera. Deluxe 144-page clothbound, full-color book with two CDs featuring Burmese guitars, Chinese opera, Persian folk songs, fado, hillbilly, jazz, blues and much, much more.

Climax Golden Twins have designed gallery and museum installations, composed soundtracks (most notably the film Session Nine), worked on documentary films (Phi Ta Khon: Ghosts Of Isan released on Sublime Frequencies) and contributed soundscapes to NPR radio programs in addition to releasing numerous recordings on CD and LP, including a recent LP on the Sun City Girls' Abduction Records imprint entitled 5 Cents A Piece.

Influenced by the Secret Museum of Mankind, Yazoo releases, Harry Smith's Anthology Of American Folk Music, as well as record labels like Sublime Frequencies, Ethnic Folkways and Ocora. Also inspired by art and design books such as those published by Chronicle. Sounds like vintage music from around the globe. Looks like a clothbound book printed on extremely fine museum quality wood-free paper and is meant as a visual manifestation of the sounds contained on the CDs. Hundreds of beautiful images of sleeves, photos, labels, needle tins and more."-Dust to Digital

"Victrola Favorites"Climax Golden Twins genre bending prowess alone would earn Rob Millis and Jeffery Taylor high regard in Seattle music circles. But Taylor also owns Wall of Sounds Records one of the first boutique record shops devoted primarily to independent and avant-garde music. 'All roads in the experimental community lead back to them,' says Eric Lanzillotta, a highly regarded distributor of experimental music. Yet tireless curiosity has always driven the pair... 'as CDs took off, we went in the opposite direction... instead of finding a new band or scene, we discovered 78s.'"-Michaelangelo Matos, Seattle Metropolitan Magazine
